I just checked this Jeffery ...when I mounted the ZI Biogon 25mm 2.8 on my M8.. it does appear that the 28 frame lines come up (along with the inner 90 lines).... so if you care to, you can easily use the 25mm lens on the M8... rather than too tight a crop and field losses, you get loose cropping (ie. the difference between the 25 and the 28...).
